most singular achievement was In con

most interested , ho became the chosen
loader of over 5,000 homesteaders.
At | ' > o mouth of Turkey Crook ho
located his own claim. Today the
thriving city of Pawnee , named In his
honor , Wands there as a monument to

knowledge regarding Oklahoma , Its
resources and ultimate destines. Fou

center of distribution for a rich and
Krowlngjadjacont territory. Major Lll

of n corjo ructlvo character rather than
destructive , as la evidenced * by his ef
forts to perpetuate the buffalo upon
bis ranches In Oklahoma , wboro ho Is
accomplishing more towards that end
than nil other agencies combined. Next
to the United States government It
self , ho owns the largest number of
buffalo living. At his ranches , ex
periments are being conducted lookIng -
Ing not alone to the perpetuity of the
full-blooded blBon , but crossing them
with the Texas steer for commercial
purposes. Ten splendid specimens are
with the "Wild Woat , " 1 ncluding
"Hilly , " claimed to bo the finest bull
buffalo allvo. The exhibition which
Major Lllllo brings here Is tlio growth
of years and the result of patient ,
plodding toll and honest endeavor. It
ranks among the world's greatest tented -
od enterprise and Is everywhere spok
en of as an excellent exhibition ,
honestly exploited nnd capably nnd
c'eanly managed.

RAISING OF WINTER WHEAT
_
Experiments Conducted to Show How
Best Results are Obtained.
The Nebraska agricultural oxperl
ment station hns just Issued Bulletin
No. 89 , entitled "Winter Wheat. Co-op
cratlvo experiments with the United
States department of agriculture. '
The bulletin gives the resulls of va
rlety tests from 1902 to 1904 inclusive
The cause and trealmenl of many
wheat troubles , the effect of good and
poor seed and the effect of good ant'
poor tillage nro shown nnd discussed
The bulletin will bo sent free to al
residents of Nebraska upon requesl
addressed to tbo grlculturnl Experl
ment Station , Lincoln , Neb. A brief
summary Is appended below :
The variety tests Included over n
dozen sorts. These were of native ,
Ilusnlnn nnd Hungarian origin. Of
thoHo Turkish Red waa found to bo fnr
superior to nil othora nnd was recom
mended for general planting In No-
liraHkn. The Hungarian nnd Russian
aorta mostly mature lee Into to pro
duce the highest yields , but they nro
becoming earlier.
Khnrkof nud Hologllnn , tested In
orthorn Nebraska , were found to ho
xtremely Imrdy but did not ylnld BO
roll ns TurklBh Rod where the winters
ormlttod Its growth. Hut those two
nrltloB , being hardier , would probably
xteud the winter wheat region further
iiirtli than at present ,
The trouble known ns "yellow berry"
vna shown to cauao n loss of from ono
iiilf n million to n million dollars n
cur to Nebraska farmera. The ox
lorlments ahaw thnt tlio proportion
if yellow berry Increased as the crop
Iponed , allowing to stand overripe for
omo tlmo having n very mnrltod of.
'oct. ' Exposure to the wenther after
jutting , however , wns found to bo the
moat potent cause. Consequently the
authors recommend cutting ns enrly
us the conditions of the grain will nl
ow nnd Btncklng as uoon as dry
enough. The need of n rich soil was
ftlso shown.
Experiments were conducted to nee
f ono strain of wheat would run out
when used again and again for flood
The results showed that whore the
[ iropor care was taken with the flood
nnd the soil wna properly manured and
tiled the yield tended to Increase , nil
if which ahows the Importance of good
soil culture.
The changes canned by different Ben
HOIIII nnd climate wore studied. It
was found thnt dry acasona cause tbo
wheat to ntoro up moro nitrogen Ir
the form of protein , and the wet non
flona moro atnrch. Changing seed
wheat from ono place to another tend
ed to cnuso very decided changes In
composition.

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO INTER
EST GOVERNOR.
HE LOOKS LIKE A CONSUMPTIVE
It Is Said that Clark Has Lost Many
Pounds Since His Confinement and
That He Fears He Will Never Live
If He Has to Complete Term.
Norfolk people believing'In the In
nocence of John Clark , tbo young man
sent to the penitentiary from Norfolk
n little moro thnn a year ago , are mak
ing every effort to aecuro his pnrdon
by Gov. Mickey , nnd tbo petition for n
pardon baa boon algnod already by n
majority of the Jury who convicted the
boy. It Is thought by the persona
working for the prisoner thnt every
Juryman will gladly algn the petition.
Clark wna n young mnn working nt
the South Norfolk cntlng house nnd
the crime for which ho wns sent up
was n statutory offense preferred by
the parents of little Flossie Richardson -
son nt South Norfolk. Friendless nnd
without money , Clnrk wont to hi * trial
declaring that ho was absolutely Inno
cent , had never even soon the girl thnt
ho know of , and believing , too , that ho
would bo acquitted quickly by n jury.
When the verdict of guilty was
brought In Clark utterly collapsed nnd
Itntl to DO cnrrleu irom tne courtroom.
Although acquaintances believed
Clark to bo Innocent , nnd although ho
declnred that bo wns not guilty , yet
there was not the money In hlH posses
sion nor did ho have the menus of se
curing enough to go on with nnother
trial and ho wns sent to the peniten
tiary. Ho bna now been there n year
and It looks , according to W. O. Wol-
cott , who bna just returned from Lin
coln , ns though bo were In the last
stages of consumption. Ho wns largo
and healthy when ho wont to the pris
on.
on."I
"I will die , " writes Clark , "unless I
can got out of horo. ' . '
People around the eating house In
sist that Clnrk wna not the guilty par
ty. When told thnt ho wns nbout to
bo nrrested , Clark Is said to have de
clared , In answer to a query , "Why ,
of course I'm not guilty. Certainly I
ahall not run. "
When ho was convicted his attorney
remarked that If he had displayed the
feeling before Instead of after tbo case
had been given to the Jury , ho would
hnvo been ncqultted. Burt Mnpes wns
the prosecuting attorney and M. D. Ty
ler the defending attorney.
Family Has Never Heard.
Clark's family hns never heard of
the trouble Into which ho has fnllen.
They live in tbo east and do not know
of his whereabouts. Clark came west
nnd fell In with bnd company. At
Sioux City ono night , while Intoxicated ,
a crowd of fellows married him to a
widow there. When ho cnmo out of
his condition and realized what bo had
done , Clnrk fled to Omaha nnd secured
work in Rome Miller's hotel. Ho wns
Inter sent to the eating house nt Nor
folk.

ORDER PLACED FOR SERVICE
FOR THE NEBRASKA.
OMAHA FIRM GETS CONTRACT
The Service Will Consist of Twenty-
Three Pieces and Will be Appro
priate and Handsome Description
of the Set.
Lincoln Journal : Governor Mickey
catordny nwnrded the contract for n
3,000 allvor service for the battleship
obrnflkn to the firm of Rolchonborg &
Smith of Omnhn , whoso original do-
ilgn best pleased him. The governor
ocontly obtained considerable news
paper notoriety on account of his ro-
uaal to vote for the appointment of n
Into employe on the ground that the
mnn IB Bnld to awcnr nnd drink. Notwithstanding -
withstanding the governor's well
known position , ho selected n service
hnt contains n punch bowl nnd cups
'or drinking purposes. The legislature
onnctcd n Inw appropriating $3,000 for
'tho purchase of a Bllver service for
ho UBO of the office , crow and ma
rines of the battleship Nebraska , " the
money to bo expanded under the dlroc-
Ion of the governor.
The appropriation simply calls fora
silver service , and while It would bo
BBlblo for the governor to buy a aor-
vlco for the use of water Instead of
punch , a silver norvlco Is generally
supposed to moan the UBO of punch ,
so niich Borvlco will bo bought.
Four firms , throe In Omnhn nnd ono
n Han Frnnclso , submitted designs ,
each of the full vnluo of the approprla
tlon , but that of the successful bidder
appeared moro suitable. The allvorls' I
o ho hnnd engraved with designs em-
Dlomatlcal of Nebraska. The principal
plcco Is a center piece three foot long.
Next In Bl/.o nnd Importance Is the
punch bowl , platter , a ladle and eigh
teen flinall cups , a largo loving cup.
In all there are twonty-throo pieces.
An engraving of the battloahlp Ne
braska will bo conspicuous on the
punch bowl and the centerpiece. The
seal of the state Is among the larger
ileslgns. In addition there Is to bo old
time pictures of the Union Pacific
brldgn surmounted by n buffalo head.
A picture of the state house will bo
engraved on the center piece , together
with other designs. Among the small
er figures will bo bonds of buffalo , an
telope nnd coyote , nnd corn nnd smnll
grain. The service will bo finished by
the time the battleship Is completed.
Although the legislature expressed
n desire to hnvo the service for the
use of the crow and mnrlnos , ns well
as the juicers , It Is not thought that
the crow will have much opportunity
to ndmlro or use the silver. At onetime
time nn effort wns made to have the
legislature appropriate money for u
library for the Bhlp. The Daughters of
tbo American Revolution of Nebraska
have nlrendy donated a regulation silk
ting for the ship.
An onthusinstlc effort wns made last
fnll to secure subscriptions from the
people of the stnto to buy a silver
service , but Governor Mickey did not
cnll for donations and the movement
failed for lack of support.
